Composite object in qlik sense

Anonymous — Thu, 27 Aug 2015 08:21:38 GMT

Hi,

I am trying to integrate qlik sense objects into my web app using mashup API. There are few objects which we want to pull together and place it into our web page. I want to fetch two different object as single object using qlik.getObject method.

Can I create a composite object in qlik sense ?

Hi Vishal,

Yes you can create a composite object however that won't help you in this case.

If you wish to include 2 charts you would have to call app.getObject() twice, getting a composite object would only get you the chart model while getObject() will also insert the necessary chart components into the DOM.

If you wish to resolve a promise/call a function once all your chart have been inserted you could use Angulars $q.all([Array of promises]) method, https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/service/$q

Hi Alex,

We achieved this by creating an extension and calling getSheet inside it. Allowed user to pick sheet name when they drag the extension on canvas.

In mashup we simply call getObject and it fetches all objects and embedded sheet together,

Its not a perfect solution but works for us,
